EVO 4G:
What is the trick to getting the WiFi hotspot to work after being Rooted? I grabbed the WiFi tether file and installed. The phone can be seen by my laptop but the laptop cannot connect. I initially tried it with WEP enabled and it didn't work so I did it as an Open network and still no success.
I'm also having trouble connecting my EVO to connect to my company VPN. We use WPA2 Enterprise which the factory VPN client does not natively support. I tried installing OpenVPN but have been unsuccessful with that. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!
bump...bump...
How about... Some details.
ROM?
Kernel?
Software versions?
Have you tried other ROMs?
Have you tried other kernels?
Have you tried other tethering apps?
I had the exact same issue....all you have to do is go to the website and download version 8 works like a charm

Do you have media control enabled? If so, when you connect to your hotspot you need to approve your client via your EVO.

Hi,
I rooted my EVO (temporary root using z4root 1.3). Installed wireless tether from market. Not sure of the version. Ran with defaults. Could not see the device from GTAB. Tried my notebook I am able to see and connect to my device but no internet. Network status says limited or no connectivity. Upgraded wireless tether to latest experimental version from google site.. still the same result. (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre15.apk). I know my phone is rooted as I get messages saying I am super user.
1)Whats the wireless tether version that is working for others on EVO?
2)Is there any other setup needed on the EVO for this to work ?
thanks
I have an Evo hardware version 004, that I set S-OFF using zikronix's "Like A Boss Edition" tutorial. After that I flashed xxbabiboi228xx's rooted 3.30.651.3 stock ROM (odex version.) Finally, I installed Wireless Tether 2.0.5-RC1.
The problem I am having is that Wireless Tether successfully gains root privileges, starts, the resulting Wi-Fi network can be connected to, and the client successfully obtains an IP address, but there is no Internet connectivity. The phone is on a 3G network.
Does anyone have information that might help me fix this problem?
Thanks!

with the client device connected start a download on the phone, or even browse around google maps to keep an active connection, while doing that try and access the web on the client continually. once the client connects you should be good to stop the active use on the phone.
if that doesnt work try pre8 and the same as above

No dice, same issue. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Try flashing Myn's RLS4 and just using the sprint hotspot app you shouldn't have any problems.

I'm currently using Stockorama ROM version 2(4.1.2) on my T-Mobile GS3. However, the VPN Service seems not working. The native client for PPTP and IPsec works fine, but any kind of app I download for OpenVPN does not work at all. I'm currently using VPN service by Private Internet Access, and it used to work fine on stock ROM, but after installing Stockorama it stopped working. I checked to see if TUN was present with TUN.ko, and it is there.
I tried out 3 apps. OpenVPN connect, OpenVPN for Android, and VPN for Private Internet Access.
All three fails to work. OpenVPN connect, and OpenVPN for Android both claims that this version of Android does not support, and PIA app just don't respond at all.
Is there a way to fix this? Please help.
The rom may have something removed that is required.
Dif you search the rom thread for similar problems?

I searched the rom thread to see if there was any VPN related issues, but I found none. However, I managed to fix it. Turns out, the Samsung's VPN Client app was required to have VPN Service API activated. On my previous install, I chose not to install that app when I was installing the rom with Aroma installer. However, when I tried reinstall with that app, few other VPN apps started working again(PIA, OpenVPN for Android). The 'OpenVPN Connect' still did not work saying that I need to install certification, but anyways I got the ones I need to work.
Thanks for the reply!
I dirty flashed Stockorama 2 and selected VPN Client from Samsung during install config and it works now. Thanks :good:

i installed OpenGarden WiFi Tether Community Version. I can config SSID, password. But, when I touch 'Start Open Garden Tethering'. It force close and asked me to check the log file. Unfortunately, when I press 'Show Log', it force close again.
Any other apps can you recommend?
I have a problem with the pdanet app when installing the version in android 8.1, I happen to see a warning that says: your device is not compatible with wps, and does not share wifi signal from that app, which does not happen with android 7, someone do you have any solution?
PS: sorry for my english..
Same problem here. I have a Moto G5s, and wifi sharing doesnt work when I updated to Android Oreo.

I used to use the following app - it requires root & a bit of knowledge to set it up - read their instructions
It may work for you - I no longer have this device so I can't give you the config for it but try goggling & seeing if a config is already on their site
I used it to bypass the mobile network tether throttle so they couldn't detect you are tethering & reduce your speed
It is a paid app though but Google is your friend

Without root you are basically using the phones native wifi hotspot
Can you not activate wifi hotspot via the wifi settings in your phones settings menu?
Technically all apps that don't use root are just using their app & interface to turn on wifi hotspot which you should be able to yourself via wifi settings

I hope I can help you
the only way I can make it work is to be connected to a Wi-Fi network regardless of whether there is a network or not and then we enter the hotspot in the PDANET app and then you disconnect from the network without turning off the wifi and keep sharing the signal .
it's the only way I can make it work
